Abstract

In the chemical industry and in the manufacturing sector, the adsorption properties of porous materials have been proven to be of great interest for the removal of impurities from liquid and gas media. While it is acknowledged that significant progress and literature production have been developed in this field, there have been adsorption studies that failed to further advance our knowledge in generating a better understanding of the prevailing sorption types and dominant adsorption processes. Therefore, this review study has focused on porous materials, their sorption types and their adsorption properties, further investigating the adsorption properties of porous materials at either solid–gas and solid–liquid interfaces, underscoring both the properties of the materials, the characterization and the correlation between the porosity and the adsorption capacity, as well as the emergent interactions between the adsorbent and adsorbate molecules, including the adsorption mechanisms, the types of sorption and the kinetic and thermodynamic information conveyed.
